This week's Insights will focus on the challenges faced by those in our community directly impacted by public school furloughs. Joining host Dan Boylan are Jo McGarry, parent of a first grader and a founding member of Hawaii Education Matters; Mark Aoki, a senior at Roosevelt High School; and Carla Margenau, 2nd Grade Teacher at Kainalu Elementary. Contributing editor Howard Dicus files his weekly "Everybody's Business" report on the state of Hawaii's economy and places the show's topic in an economic context.

This conversation was recorded on May 27, 2010 in the PBS Hawaii studio. Insights on PBS Hawaii is presented on Thursdays at 7:30.
